Abstract: A control unit performs a lane departure suppression control when a host vehicle is about to depart from a traveling lane. The control unit determines whether a low impact collision has occurred. The control unit performs a secondary collision damage mitigation control when the low impact collision is determined to have occurred while the lane departure suppression control is being performed.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel composition including a fibrous protein having covered antigenicity, and the composition contains a complex prepared by bonding a fibrous protein such as tropomyosin derived from shrimp to a maltooligosaccharide such as maltopentaose or maltoheptaose through a Maillard reaction.

Abstract: A process for preparation of an alcoholic beverage produced by mixing an alcoholic beverage base mix containing alcohol and at least one type of water-soluble substance with ice pieces in a proportion of 20:80 to 80:20, and conducting aeration, agitation and cooling so that the volume fraction of contained gas is in the range of 1 to 150% and the mixing temperature is lower than ?1° C., thereby obtaining a gas-containing matter having an alcohol concentration of ?1.0 vol. % and being fluid at ?15° to ?2° C., wherein fine ice pieces of 0.06 to 0.8 mm major axis length are present in an amount of at least 80 wt. % based on the total weight so that at least part of the fine ice pieces are sensed.

Abstract: An alcoholic beverage that as it has fluidity at ?15° to ?2° C., can be drunk easily and appropriately and that through coexistence of fine ice pieces and bubbles, induces novel pleasant sensation of coolness and coldness and feeling of swallow, appropriate sensation of alcohol, and excellent flavor. There is provided an alcoholic beverage characterized in that it is produced by mixing an alcoholic beverage base mix containing alcohol and at least one type of water-soluble substance with ice pieces in a proportion of 20:80 to 80:20, and conducting aeration, agitation and cooling so that the volume fraction of contained gas is in the range of 1 to 150% and that the mixture temperature is lower than ?1° C., thereby obtaining a gas-containing matter having an alcohol concentration of ?1.0 vol. % and being fluid at ?15° to ?2° C. wherein fine ice pieces of 0.06 to 0.8 mm major axis length are present in an amount of at least 80 wt.

Abstract: A cold confectionery and a method of preparing the same are provided. A mixture is foamed to have an overrun in the range of 150% to 500%, and frozen to a temperature of not higher than ?10° C. The cold confectionery provides desirable extra-light and crisp-rich feelings in mouth with a light-snow-like softness as well as a desirable smooth spoonability. The final product also exhibits an apparent bulk-up upon sterilization with spoon.
